Media Effects
Imitation refers to the act of copying or replicating the behaviors, actions, or characteristics of others. In the context of media violence, it highlights how individuals, especially children, may mimic aggressive or violent behaviors they observe in various media forms, such as television shows, movies, and video games. This phenomenon raises concerns about the potential short-term and long-term effects that such media portrayals can have on behavior and social norms.
